Create a piece of art about who you want to be. Are you already who you want to be? If not, what can you change in your life to become get there?<\/div>\n

I think in many ways I am a late bloomer. Some of my greatest loves in life (art, scuba diving), I discovered in my middle-age. It makes me think about Grandma Moses<\/a>. She started painting seriously when she was 78. 78!!!! And her work hangs in many museums in the world. See, it really is never too late.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
I think I will forever be a work in progress. I never want to stop learning and growing. There's still so much I want to do. That's what my two pages are about.<\/div>\n

I just have to share one more picture. My cat is always so curious when I take pictures of my artwork. I often take pics near my sliding glass door to get good light. Here he is checking out my journal:<\/div>\n
